Book Of Gates 소설 & 이야기

Evelyn noticed first. "What is it?" The Guardian slowly pointed toward a faded symbol. A mark nearly erased by time. Althea leaned closer. The symbol resembled a circle surrounded by seven smaller circles. Nothing remarkable. At least initially. The Guardian's face had gone pale. "The Seven Gates." Silence. Nobody moved. Then Evelyn whispered: "No." The Guardian nodded. "Yes." Varis frowned. "I don't understand." The Guardian looked up. His expression grim. "The First Path was never one doorway."

Aruna whispered. Gabriel. The Eighth Founder. Proof. Physical proof. He had existed. He had never been a myth. He had simply been erased. Dante reached toward the gate. The moment his fingers touched the metal— A loud mechanical sound echoed through the mountains. Everyone drew weapons instantly. The gate began opening. By itself. Slowly. The enormous steel doors separated with a grinding noise. Revealing darkness beyond. Nobody moved. Nobody breathed. The gate stopped. Fully open. An invitation.

The Gate was alive with energy, pulsing in rhythm with his presence, acknowledging his authority as its chosen guardian. As he stepped closer, the runes on the Gate shimmered and changed, the lines of ancient symbols twisting and reforming before his eyes. They were patterns he recognized—warnings, instructions, cryptic glimpses into the unknown. The power within the Gate surged, a wave of energy so intense it brought Veyron to his knees. His hands cradled his head as the visions flooded him.

Then: "There he is." Then: "The slow one." Honestly? Fair. Very fair. Reasonable honestly. Then Thomas looked around. Then: "What happened here?" Nobody answered immediately. Then Darius pointed forward. Then Thomas saw it. A giant gate. Black. Massive. Covered in blue runes. The Fifth Key floated behind it. Visible. Yet unreachable. Then Eryx sighed. Then: "The gate won't open." Silence. Then: "We've tried everything." Then Rowan nodded.

he nodded toward the yard, "has dulled my sense of the Gate." "Until now." I stroked the soft fur of his head as he sighed, the heat of his breath warming my leg even through my jeans. "Until now. And, to be fair, Gates are very well guarded, for obvious reasons. They are pathways, Syd, between here and the realm. If some mortal were to stumble on one, the consequences could be catastrophic." "So what's up with this one?" I had to press my hand against my left knee to keep it from jiggling in impatience.

As we walked in, he began to walk up the stairs, and I just stood there puzzled. He turned and looked back at me, “It's alright, you are with me. Come on.” He said reaching his hand towards me to take. I took his hand and let him lead me. We got to the gateway at the top of the stairs, and to me, it looked like a mirror behind some green hanging vines growing out from between the stones on the walls. “Is our world the only one with gateways?” I asked studying the gateway. “No, Rayna you need to understand.... our worlds are in different dimensions, not in outer space as many believe.”

He pressed; his skepticism barely veiled by a thin layer of curiosity. "That's what's written on the ancient parchment," Howard replied, his voice steady, conveying the gravity of the information. "In that chamber, there are three main gates: one to the past, one to the present, and one to the future. The Alpha king entered from the present gate, so he can only open one of the two other gates—the one to the past or the future."

I started small. Pressing my hand to a candle flame, letting the warmth soak into my palm. No flare. But the wick flickered faster when I touched it. As if my power still whispered. Next, I pulled out an old book from the shelf in Kael’s office—Bloodlines & Boundaries. The name made me snort. Inside were maps, names, power charts. I studied every inch until I found one detail he must’ve missed: A gate. Not magical. Just old. Rusted. Forgotten.

I just rolled my eyes, " Yeah, of course believing you eat octopus bones is crazy after one travels through a portal to a different planet and then rides on a flying pegasus. You know all the obvious stuff. I see, where you are coming from. How silly of me." Jude just giggles at my snide remark and I couldn't help but smile back at him. " So how many gates are there exactly? " " Just two main gates. There is mainly forest and farmland between gate one and gate two. After this when we cross the second gate residence area starts." " Make sense, sounds very systematic." " It is and also very secure." I just continued asking him as many insignificant questions as I can and chit-chatting about va

That's what he thought. "Samara is the keeper of the Gate of Praeterium. It is the gate to the past, the present and the future. She holds the three keys called praeteria. It would not work when one of the keys is missing. Keter is a sphinx who guards the Gate of Dimensia. It is the only way to travel to other dimensions, alternate reality, to different places and times. Cosmos is the keeper of the Gate of Caelum. The only gate for mortals, demons and dark creatures to enter the place of the Gods."
